I have had enough!

As the title says I have had enough... of this weather.
It is cold and windy, my feet and hands are so cold even with thick socks and gloves on. Today it was -2°C on the walk to school. Both of my children have runny noses which get worse when they go out.
They are both moning about how cold it is. This time last year we had just bought our house and it was lovely and sunny. My brother and hubby were helping me work on the garden while we were waiting for the builders to start work. This year I can't even dig the ground over to get ready for planting the veg patch. A couple of weeks ago I put up my small green house and started to sow some carrots, it was sunny and warm at the time. But it has got so cold that all the seeds with either rot or take ages to germinate.
I am hoping for a good year with the veg as last year with all the rain it didn't work so well. We got a few things a couple of cuecumber, a couple of small butternut sqush, I still have some leeks in the ground and they are sooo small. The slugs and snails got the rest, all my nice salard leaves and spring onions. I had even used organic pet friendly slug pellets but all to no avail I lost the lot. This year it is carrots, parsnips, potatos, beetroot, spinage and brocolie. I might try the leeks again but as I have a green house this year I think I might have to leave something to grow in there, where the slugs and snails can't get them.

I also need to cut a hedge but can't as I don't want to put an electric cable out in the snow. The poor birds too they started to nest in the headge and if they had layed any eggs I don't think that they will survive :(

There are so meny jobs to do in the garden and I also need to get the outside of the house painted. It is a horrid pinky orange colour and I would like it white. Which meens hiring a long ladder but I don't want to do that when it is so cold.

I know that we haven't had any thing half as bad as the Isle of Man or Isle of Arron. They have 10 foot of snow and have no electric. The farmers have lost live stock and this will have an impact on our food prices too.

I am also lucky that I have not come down with anything, illness wise, as this would not be very helpful with the children to look after. Most of my friends have come down with some sort of bug and there is also chicken pox going round my daughters school. So am on pox watch at the moment too.
